Oh my. If this isn’t an elaborate pun but refers to either Horace’s Odes or else Wilfred Owen’s WWI poem, that should be »Dulce ET DEcoRum est«. I don’t know whether it is the most uplifting dance title imaginable but can someone with access to the actual book check into this?

Meinhard kindly supplied me with a copy of the original description, which says »Dacorum« (after the Roman name of the Berkhamsted area). So it’s the elaborate pun after all! I changed the dance name accordingly.
